On October 23, the army of the Brunei Sultanate arrived in Sarawak and began to suppress the indigenous riots! The commander of the Brunei army, Mengdier, commanded the army to wipe out two indigenous tribes and killed tens of thousands of people, including many elderly people and children. Mengdier's approach even aroused the anger of the indigenous people in Sarawak.
On October 25, the Brunei army was ambushed by the indigenous army in the Sarawak River. The indigenous army assembled more than 20,000 people and launched a sudden attack on the Brunei army under the cover of night. The Brunei army was very alert, or they had never thought that the indigenous army would launch a sudden attack on them. This made the Brunei army pay a heavy price on this night!
Unable to defend, the Brunei army was defeated by the indigenous army. In a panic, the Brunei army's musket advantage could not be used at all, and it was not as useful as the spears in the hands of the indigenous army. Countless Brunei soldiers were killed by the indigenous people with spears. The huge casualties caused the Brunei army, which had weak fighting will, to collapse soon.
In the battle that night, the indigenous army successfully destroyed most of the Brunei army and captured the commander of the Brunei army, Mengdir. The rest of the Brunei army also fled back in a panic. Although the Brunei army still had 10,000 regular troops. However, this was the army they used to guard the capital Sribaga Bay. More importantly, in terms of time, they had no time! At the beginning, Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II promised Xinhua to suppress the indigenous peoples in Sarawak within ten days. But now it seems that it is completely impossible!
"Prime Minister. We're finished, the Sultanate of Brunei is completely finished! The Xinhua Kingdom is about to launch an attack on us! We can't resist their attack!" In the magnificent palace, Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II said with a sad face. After the news of the defeat of the front-line army came, Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II could have lost his soul.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that that guy Mengdier would fail so soon! He commanded an elite army equipped with muskets! He was defeated by those natives! This is simply incredible! Your Majesty, I request an order to shoot Mengdier!" Prime Minister Garcia said in an atmosphere. Mengdier's failure almost ruined the future of the Sultanate of Brunei!
"No need to shoot him! Mendir is dead. Those damn natives killed him cruelly. And they took his meat to feed the dogs!" said Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II.
Prime Minister Garcia was silent, and he didn't know what to say. The indigenous riots in Sarawak were getting worse and worse, but this was not the most threatening. New China was staring at the Sultanate of Brunei, which was the most deadly thing!
"Prime Minister. Do we have any other ways now? I don't want to see the Brunei Sultanate perish like this!" Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II said. The British rejected the Brunei Sultanate begging for mercy, which made him almost lose all hope!
"Your Majesty! Now, we can only seek the understanding of Xinhua and let them agree to extend the time, so that we can have enough time to suppress the indigenous riots in Sarawak!" Prime Minister Garcia said.
"But, does the Xinhua Congress agree?" Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II asked with some concern.
"Your Majesty, we have no other way! No matter how much the price we pay, we must make Xinhua agree to our request. Only in this way can the Sultanate of Brunei continue to exist! Otherwise, we will definitely be destroyed by Xinhua!" Prime Minister Garcia said.
"Okay. I'll summon Zhang Jinhong, Consul of the New China, to live in Seribaga Bay!" Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II nodded. He also knew that the Sultanate of Brunei has reached the most critical moment now! Whether the understanding of the Sultanate of New China is directly related to whether the Sultanate of Brunei can continue to exist. Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II does not want to become a king of a fallen country!
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when Zhang Jinhong arrived at the Sultan Palace. It was already October 26th, and there were two days left, and it was the time agreed upon by both sides! The three infantry brigades of the Xinhua Army had completed the assembly and prepared troops on the border. When the time came, the Xinhua Army would invade the territory of the Brunei Sultanate. The Xinhua Army had already known the news of the failure of the Brunei army. Therefore, they could be sure that the Brunei Sultanate was not able to suppress the indigenous riots in Sarawak within the agreed time.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if I summoned me so late, what's wrong?" Consul Zhang Jinhong said with a smile on his face.
Seeing the smile on Consul Zhang Jinhong's face, Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II was very angry and wanted to slap him hard. However, now he had to bear it.
"Consul, I'm really sorry, I'm disturbing your rest! I'm here tonight, I want to discuss something with you!" Prime Minister Garcia said hurriedly. He was very afraid that Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II would not be able to control his anger, which would make the relationship between the two sides worse.
"Oh? Prime Minister, is there anything wrong?" Although Zhang Jinhong had guessed their intentions, he still pretended not to know anything!
"That's right, Consul. The time we agreed with your country at the beginning was too short for us to suppress the indigenous people of Sarawak within this time. Look, will we beg us for a few more days? We promise that we will be able to suppress the indigenous people of Sarawak and protect the interests of the Chinese there!" Prime Minister Garcia said with his chest patted.
"Is that so? Prime Minister, but why did I hear that your country's army has been defeated in Sarawak! Even the commander has fallen into the hands of the indigenous army! I really doubt whether your country has the ability to suppress the indigenous people in Sarawak. Now, the Chinese in Sarawak are threatened by the indigenous people, but you are powerless to do anything about it! His Majesty the King of our country is very dissatisfied with this!" Zhang Jinhong said sternly.
"Consul, please think of a way to give us a few more days! We are willing to compensate Xinhua and those Chinese who have suffered losses! As long as Xinhua is willing to give us a period of gratitude, everything will be easy!" Prime Minister Garcia said.
Seeing the flattering look of Prime Minister Garcia and the depressed look of Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II, Consul Zhang Jinhong felt very comfortable. Thinking about the fact that when Xinhua was just established, the Brunei Sultanate did not take Xinhua seriously at all. When Xinhua attacked the Sulu Sultanate, the Brunei Sultanate also warned Xinhua to stop the war, otherwise they would launch an attack on Xinhua. Now, these guys know that Xinhua is powerful! But it's too late.
"Sorry, Prime Minister! We are very disappointed with the combat power of the Brunei Sultanate's army! In order to protect the interests of overseas expatriates, the New China Army is ready!" Consul Zhang Jinhong shook his head and rejected Prime Minister Garcia's request. What jokes are you doing, compensation, etc., Xinhua doesn't care at all. After the New China Army destroyed the Brunei Sultanate, everything will be Xinhua? The Brunei Sultanate has ruled the northern part of Borneo for five hundred years, and the accumulated wealth is enough to make anyone salivate. Last time, after the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities destroyed the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, it only obtained trophies worth 40 million Chinese yuan.
Although this is already a huge sum of money, it is a one-time transaction. One fat sheep is slaughtered by such a fat sheep! It is estimated that the wealth accumulated by the Brunei Sultanate over the past few hundred years must be more than the wealth of the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities. After all, although the territory controlled by the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities is wider, most of the wealth they collect every year will be transported back to the Netherlands. The Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities only left a small part. In addition, those mines were also taken into military control, so the spoils would naturally shrink. But the Brunei Sultanate is different! From this magnificent palace, it can be seen how rich the Brunei Sultan is!
"Consul, can't we be more comfortable with it? Our Sultanate of Brunei is very sincere! As long as Xinhua agrees to the grace time, we are willing to pay Xinhua compensation of 20 tons of gold! In addition, we will never forget the benefits of your Consul's own!" Prime Minister Garcia said.
Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II nodded repeatedly. Although twenty tons of gold made him feel very painful, this was nothing to the wealth that had accumulated for hundreds of years in the treasure house of the Sultanate of Brunei. It was really worth it to give up such a little gold and preserve the Sultanate of Brunei!
"Hmph! Twenty tons of gold? This is equivalent to a huge sum of 10 million Chinese yuan! However, the Sultanate of Brunei was able to take out twenty tons of gold to request the New China to give the New China grace time! Then, I believe they must have more wealth!" Zhang Jinhong said secretly. Although Prime Minister Garcia indicated that it would give him huge benefits, Consul Zhang Jinhong was unmoved. What he cared about was the progress in his career, not money. Although the salary of Xinhua was not high, it was enough for him to maintain the family's expenses. Of course, he could not ruin his future because of this money!
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Your Excellency, Prime Minister! This is not something I can decide! Our country's army is ready! We will soon enter the Sultanate of Brunei as we agreed on time to help you suppress the rebellion and rescue those overseas Chinese!" Consul Zhang Jinhong shook his head.
"No, the Sultanate of Brunei is a sovereign state! You are invading! It is a despicable act of invasion!" Sultan Oma Ali Saifting II said angrily! (To be continued...)
